Recently I went to Westfield Stratford coincidently and unplanned on the day of Black Friday so I was dreading how busy the shops would be but surprisingly it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and there were some amazing deals in most shops. I only picked up two things for myself that day as I went there purely to buy Christmas presents for friends and family. The first thing I purchased was this jersey duster coat from Topshop which was overpriced I think but I haven't bought anything from Topshop in a good while and I know I will get a lot of wear out of it. You can't really wear a big thick jumper underneath it so I chose to wear this little cami crop top from WeArAll underneath. Along with that, I popped into Urban Outfitters and saw this beauty of a mini backpack; I've been searching for the perfect sized one for ages and this one was £38 but Urban Outfitters had 30% off so I ended up getting this for only £21, happy days. Keeping with the elements of leather, I wore these Missguided boots which I love but they are so painful to break into at the moment - hopefully with some more wear they'll become a lot easier to walk in!

This Zara coat is probably my most worn piece for Autumn/Winter this year as I practically wear it everyday and it goes with all of my wardrobe effortlessly. I literally love it so much. I featured it in this post here with the fur but since then I've removed the fur as I think it looks nicer with the collar showing but when it gets into the colder months the fur will have to be added! As well as Beige/Camel coats I'm also obsessed with roll neck jumpers. I think they look chic, simple and paired with these Adorning Ava earrings I think they are the perfect match for adding a little something extra to a simplistic outfit. Keeping the rest of the outfit with the simple vibe, I kept the bottom half of my outfit Black with these Topshop jeans and my most worn boots of the season, these Linzi cleated sole boots. Every girl has to have a pair of chunky boots!

The last installment of my five ways to style this NicolexMissguided Collection crop top is more of an evening out look. Keeping with the White theme, I paired this piece with this embossed New Look asymmetric skirt. The whites match perfectly and it creates a lovely two-piece kind of look with the cut outs and lines of both the top and skirt. White seems to be a running trend through this Winter again and I love how White looks so effortless and classy if done well. These Boohoo block heels I have only had for a couple of months but I have worn them so much already as they are so comfortable and literally go with every evening outfit. When it comes to heels they have to be easy to last the night in otherwise I cannot bare to even wear them, no matter how good they look!

This is one of my favourite looks from the five outfits I styled for this NicolexMissguided feature. This coat I saw in Zara about two months ago and loved. You can't not have a cream coat for Winter I don't think and this one is so clean cut and chic that I had to get it. It's that kind of coat that will go with practically every outfit and finishes off a look perfectly. It's not been too cold recently so I've taken off the fur collar and I love how this tailored coat looks contrasted with a really casual look like this one with jeans.

Camel is another colour which I've recently become obsessed with this Winter. In fact, any nude/beige tones I think look amazing. These chunky wooden heels I bought from Topshop years ago are the perfect and most comfortable heel for making a pretty casual outfit more dressy to complement the top.

Focusing on Trends for A/W14 I decided to style this NicolexMissguided Crop top a third way in a Nineties inspired way. I wouldn't say the top is very nineties but because it's White and quite simple as a piece I thought I could incorporate nineties elements to show how you can switch this top up in so many ways.

I chose to wear this very 'Clueless' Missguided Tartan skirt I got last year with a new purchase which are these Linzi Shoes chunky boots. I've been looking for some cleated chunky heeled boots for some time and these are perfect for what I wanted as I didn't want anything with any Gold or Silver hardware so I can wear them with any outfit and accessories. Too add a few extra nineties touches to this look I wore this Miss Selfridge choker set and this metallic Primark scrunchie. Can't go wrong with a scrunchie can you?

The next outfit of my five looks wearing this NicolexMissguided top is a look which kind of takes me out of my comfort zone a bit. I'm not a 'sporty' girl at all, I'm probably the most girly girl ever; You'll be lucky if you catch me in any sort of trainers apart from the standard Converses or Vans. However, I saw these trainers when I was in Barcelona and thought I'd try them on for the laugh of it and I actually really liked the look of these but stupidly I didn't buy them. As usual, I couldn't stop thinking about how I should have purchased them so when I got back to London I thankfully found these in the Oxford Street store. They are the most comfy shoes ever and they were only £39.99. I don't think you'll ever catch me spending more than that on a pair of trainers I may not be wearing a year later.

I love that they can be worn really casually like this outfit or made a little sleeker with a tailored oversized coat and black jeans. I also love this leather rucksack which is surprisingly from Next. I would never really shop in Next but they always do so well with their bags! I think it adds a smarter edge to a sporty look which makes the top work well with the overall style as well as the slick of Red lipstick.

So I was recently set a Blogger Style Challenge by those at ASOS Fashion Finder to style a key item from the new and highly anticipated NicolexMissguided Collection. I for one was really excited to see what the collection would include this time around and I particularly loved this plunge White crop top. It shows just the right amount of skin, I love anything White and this can be styled in so many ways.

This is one of my favourite of the five outfits I styled for the ASOS Fashion Finder edit as it's very me with the vintage vibe. I took the Sixties trend which is coming back this Autumn and put a modern spin on it with the NicolexMissguided top. I think the cut outs add a nice detail and go with the overall monochrome look.

A few new additions to my wardrobe include these amazing Primark heeled booties and this Wallis Blazer-slash-Duster Jacket. I am in love with this jacket; It's perfect for when you want something a bit longer than your average blazer which still looks smart but a little more casual.

I will be posting my next four looks on to the blog very soon, but until then, you can check out the NicolexMissguided Blogger Style Challenge edit on the ASOS Fashion Finder website by clicking here!

Now that I've cut my hair a lot shorter, I've not stopped wearing my hats. I feel that they just look a lot better now with my short hair that I'm making the most of wearing them this Autumn. Whilst it's not too chilly yet I've still been able to wear my beloved crop tops even though I do tend to wear them all year round. Gotta love a crop. I seriously love the paisley pattern of this Topshop one especially, the blue colours aren't something I usually go for but this looks lovely with any Blue wash jeans. This slouchy white cardigan is also a recent purchase from Primark. I've wanted an oversized long cardigan for ages but found them so difficult to find at the end of Summer - now most shops have so many I'm spoilt for choice. I also picked up the Black version of this too as they're so versatile and I just love throwing them over everything.
